FAQ

We look for the finest craftsmen for each of our products. As a result, we work with manufacturers all over the world. We currently work with manufacturers in Vietnam, China, Indonesia, and India.

Before establishing a relationship with a new manufacturing partner, we carefully vet them against our stringent criteria for ethical business practices and quality control. We personally visit with every factory we work with on a regular basis to ensure that these standards are maintained.

We understand the need for style and durability. Below we’ve listed a few of our favorite options for families with young children.

Ceni is a low-maintenance, durable, springy sofa. Darker colors like the Volcanic Grey, Pyrite Grey, or Aquarius Blue camouflage fingerprints well, while  It’s also built with an easily-accessed low-profile silhouette so even the smallest member of the family can grab a seat. Busy parents will also love that Ceni comes ready for action right out of the box, no assembly required.

For tons of room on family movie night, the Burrard sectional has deep, down-filled cushions for everyone to spread out on. The only thing you’ll have to worry about sharing is the popcorn—Netflix membership sold separately.

Is your sofa actually an expensive dog bed? Same. We recommend leather for pet owners because it’s durable and lends itself nicely to that lived-in look.

For a hardier leather that has a more consistent finish, our Oxford leather (as seen on our Worthington and Alcott sofas) is a great option.

The health and safety of our customers is always our priority. To address and manage such important responsibilities, we adhere to the following standards:

• All Article products undergo rigorous testing for safety and durability. We conduct in-house tests and work with third-party testing labs to make sure that our products are safe for your home and family.
• We are always working to reduce the presence of hazardous materials in our products, and do so by following directives such as California's Proposition 65. You can find more information here.

All photos on our website are taken by professional photographers under lighting conditions that are typical in a residential home.

Balance is key when it comes to your new piece. To reduce the risk of tipping, never open more than one drawer at a time. 

It’s important to keep the heaviest items (think dumbbells, hiking boots, heavy sweaters, rock collections, etc.) in the lowest drawers to ground the piece, and store lighter items (feather pillows, underwear, makeup, etc.) in the top drawers.

No. Due to the risk of tipping, never allow children to stand, climb, or hang on drawers, doors, or shelves.

• We’ll deliver your item(s) to the front door of your home or apartment
• We’ll knock/buzz, and will greet you at your door while maintaining a six-foot social distance

We’ll reach out to you via text and email to share the delivery date and arrival window as soon as your order is ready. It is common to receive your delivery schedule within your ETA window.

Your order will be marked as “Processing” until it reaches a fulfillment center close to your delivery address. Its status will then be updated as it makes its way to you. 

If your order is coming from overseas, it can take up to several weeks to arrive at the fulfillment center. During this time, it will remain in Processing status.

We’re so glad you asked! We’ve put together a detailed guide to measuring for delivery to help you prepare for the big day.

Processing: We’ve confirmed your order and are processing your item(s). Please note that products with a longer ETA may be coming from overseas, and will often stay in Processing status for weeks while they make their journey. We’ll always make sure to factor this time into the ETA window.
